rsync - Feb 2013 - [Bug 9660] New: rsync --daemon --bwlimit does not work on server side

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9660

           Summary: rsync --daemon --bwlimit does not work on server side
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: mopp at gmx.net
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


Accroding to the help rsync --daemon -h the daemon should work with --bwlimit.
Unfortunately --bwlimit does not work.
It only works as a client option, but not on the server side:
# rsync --daemon --bwlimit=100

I'm transferring a 10MByte file over network.

It looks like the function is not implemented for the --deamon mode. Can
somebody confirm this?

The --bwlimit option is understood when starting the daemon, but the value
isn't shared with the client, so any limiting that the client side would
normally be in charge of won't happen.  If you're wanting to force
--bwlimit to
a particular value, your only option is probably to write a pre-xfer exec
script that scans the args and dies with an error if bwlimit isn't right.

What we need to do for the future is make the daemon side send any in-effect
bwlimit to the client in the protocol at startup.
